Lisa Kudrow talks to Stephen Colbert about returning to the 'Friends' set
Watch Next

The Friends reunion is getting closer to our screens by the day. First we had a look at the guest list, then we got a full trailer, and now we have a lovely chat between Lisa Kudrow and Stephen Colbert in which she explains what it was like to return to the set after 17 years.

"We haven't all been in the same room in like, five or six years," Kudrow says in the Late Show clip above. "And then COVID delayed this whole thing so much that it was thrilling and a little emotional. And they rebuilt all the sets, so I think we were meant to be excited about seeing the sets, and everyone was but me — because I wanted to see the people."

Friends: The Reunion arrives on HBO Max May 27.
